Brochure dating
#1
I've just been having an exchange with Tony Griffiths regarding the Milk Float brochure. As it is undated, it could be said to be out of order at

https://archive.a7ca.org/collections/show-brochures/

That has just been updated to ensure Brochures are listed in date order. However, as with the Milk Float, there are a small number undated that come at the bottom of the list. What do peope think I should ascribe dates to these Brochures to get them in their rightful position? All other brochures have definite dating details printed. The brochures are:

https://www.archive.a7ca.org/wp-content/..._1476B.pdf - Brochure numbering might suggest 1937


https://www.archive.a7ca.org/wp-content/..._1576A.pdf - Brochure numbering might suggest 1938


https://www.archive.a7ca.org/wp-content/...R_1691.pdf - Brochure numbering might suggest 1938


https://www.archive.a7ca.org/wp-content/...BR_695.pdf - Brochure numbering might suggest 1929


https://www.archive.a7ca.org/wp-content/...R_784A.pdf - Brochure numbering might suggest 1931

I'd be grateful if anyone can spot any clues that might corroborate my suggested dates

The Milk Float - going on its general appearance and the "tacked-on" line across the other face of the scuttle - I would say is based on a mid-1930 to end-of-1930 AF.

Are not the publication numbers in numerical sequence?

Not always... If you look at the list on the Archive web site, you can see this...

I think that it would be helpful to ascribe your 'best guess' date to these brochures. It doesn't matter so much if they are not completely correct , but at least they will end up in a more useful order than lumped together at the bottom.
